“…This finding was explained by the fact that increased fabric thickness resulted in changes that act as a boundary to hinder the air flow through the fabric, thus resulting in a reduction in the air permeability of the fabric. Prakash et al [185] investigated the effect of oxygen atmospheric-pressure plasma on air and water-vapor permeability properties of single jersey bamboo fabric. Their results showed that water-vapor permeability increased, although the air permeability decreased along with the plasma treatment.…”

In recent years, plasma treatment technology has attracted more attention in the textile industry, as it seems to be a promising economically and ecologically sound alternative to conventional wet-chemical processing techniques. Plasma surface treatment is a relatively simple process that is clean, solvent-free, time saving, and environmentally friendly. Moreover, plasma treatments offer the possibility to obtain typical textile finishes without changing the key textile properties. The efficiency of plasma treatment depends on several factors including the nature of the substrate and the treatment operating conditions. However, the application of plasma technology to different kinds of textile materials has not been fully exploited. This paper presents a review of the current literature on the surface modification of textiles by lowtemperature plasma (LTP) technology. Its main objectives are to (i) investigate the influence of LTP treatment on the surface properties of natural and man made textile materials, (ii) outline the contribution of LTP treatment towards sustainable development, and (iii) examine the hurdles that LTP has to overcome in the textile industry.

In this research work, the effect of argon plasma treatment variables on the comfort and antibacterial properties of polyester fabric has been investigated. The SEM micrographs and FTIR analysis confirms the modification of fabric surface. The Box-Behnken design was used for the optimization of plasma process variables and to evaluate the effects and interactions of the process variables, i.e. operating power, treatment time and distance between the electrodes on the characteristics of polyester fabrics. The optimum conditions of operating power 600 W, treatment time 30 s, and the distance between the electrodes of 2.8 mm was arrived using numerical prediction tool in Design-Expert software. The plasma treated polyester fabrics showed better fabric characteristics particularly in terms of water vapour permeability, wickability and antibacterial activity compared to untreated fabrics, which confirms that the modified structure of polyester fabric.

“…As the plasma pressure increase the air permeability of treated silk fabric increase and for polyester fabrics it increases up to 0.3 torr. then it decrease this can be explained in view of the effect of pressure on energy of the charged particles leading to a large effect on the fabric surface, thus increasing their permeability in air [16,19].…”

“…We found that for silk fabrics the air permeability increase by increasing of exposure time but for polyester fabrics the air permeability increase in the time range from 15 sec up to 30 sec that may be related to the formation of new pores due to surface etching that occurs by oxygen plasma treatment. so the porosity increase of the plasma treated PET and silk samples [16], then start to decrease in the time range from 45 sec to 120 sec for PET fabrics this may be due to the possibility of saturation to occur at extended time which may results in two competing processes-binding of oxygen atoms to the surface and breaking up of polymer chains to result in the production of low molecular weight fragments [9].…”

I N this article we studied the effect of surface modification of polyester (PET) and silk fabrics by their exposure to cold plasma. The cold plasma was carried out using oxygen as a working gas and different plasma device parameters have been studied such as: different time, different current and different hydrostatic pressure using plasma/Oxygen. Treated fabrics are characterized by the measurements and evaluation of mechanical properties, air permeability, Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) and the changes in surface morphological of pretreated fabrics were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (EDX)). The nano-silver particles were prepared by green synthesis method, then were characterized by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Zeta Potential and particle size. The exposed plasma fabrics at optimum conditions were modified with the prepared nanosilver. The antibacterial activity properties for treatedfabrics against gram positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aurous) and gram negative bacteria (Escherichia coli) were examined. The SEM results confirmed that there was a significant increase in roughness of the surface for all treated fabrics. The results of mechanical properties showed that plasma treatment had not destructive effect on the physical properties of the fabrics. The results obtained clarify that the ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) values increase for polyester exposed fabrics but the increase is not significant for silk fabrics while antibacterial properties were highly improved by all treated fabrics.
